Dalton gives back to communities

Dalton has been involved in Cedar Falls, IA and surrounding communities for years, especially under the leadership of Dalton president, Dave Krejchi — he believes one of Dalton’s company mantras is giving back to the Cedar Valley.

This past fall, Dalton donated a complete Lennox Heating and AC System (value of $8,000) to be sold at a silent auction for Magical Mix Kids, a local nonprofit organization that helps terminally ill children and their families.

Other organizations that Dalton supports or has supported over the years is, Toys for Tots, Habitat for Humanity, American Red Cross, American Heart Association, Boys and Girls Club, United Way, University of Northern Iowa Scholarship Club, UNI Foundation, and The Community Foundation to name a few.

Every year in October, Dalton has an annual Fireplace Open House and Chili Cook–off. This past year, Dalton invited the Cedar Falls Police and Fire Rescue Departments to judge the cook–off. They received $500 from Dalton as a thank you for their service in helping keep our communities safe and secure.

On behalf of Dalton, president Dave Krejchi has been a member and has served in many capacities for various community organizations including Cedar Falls Chamber (Chair), Greater Cedar Valley Alliance & Chamber, Cedar Basin Jazz Festival Board, Jaycees, Boys Scouts of America (Troop Leader), Elks Club, Eagles Club, North Shore Boat Club (Commodore), Cedar Falls Lions, Cedar Falls Rotary, and Hawkeye Community College Board (Trustee for nine years).

Currently as a Hawkeye Community College Board Trustee, Krejchi has served on the finance committee and on the ad hoc committee for Ownership Linkage. Hawkeye has been a great partner with Dalton. The college has been instrumental in training tradesmen to be great plumbers; heating, venting and cooling technicians; and electricians in installation and service.
